World's Biggest McDonald's Store Built For 2012 London Olympics



Daily Mail Online UK - When the Olympic Games begin in London next month, the capital will play host to the fittest, fastest and strongest athletes in the world.

 But it will also be home to a rather different superlative – the biggest McDonald’s on the planet, right in the middle of the Olympic park.

So while the competitors stretch themselves to their very limits, hungry spectators will gorge on tens of thousands of burgers and portions of fries.

The vast two-storey restaurant will serve up to 1,200 customers an hour and sell £3million of fast food during the Games.

At 3,000 sq ft the building, next to the Olympic Stadium, is bigger than the current largest McDonald’s, in Moscow.

The Russian restaurant will regain its title on September 9, however, when the London branch is bulldozed after the Paralympics closing ceremony.

Yesterday McDonald’s gave the media a preview of its flagship store, which includes 20 till points and 1,500 seats.

Andrew Zimmern: Filipino Food is the Next Big Thing



Andrew Zimmern? I knew him! Well, not personally but I was able to watched his show, "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern", on TLC many times already. His shows exposed different exotic and unusual food offered in restaurant all over the world. From what I've seen, I believe he has the 'say' to announced or predict that Filipino Food is the next big thing. 

And Filipinos should rejoice and must be thankful about it, not because our food can now compete to other Asian food, but because someone has noticed that there is something special about Filipino food.

"I predict, two years from now, Filipino food will be what we will have been talking about for six months," said Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern in an interview with TODAY.com. "I think that's going to be the next big thing."

The story titled "Andrew Zimmern: Filipino food is the 'next big thing'" came out Tuesday on the Bites on TODAY blog, which is, according to the website, part of the MSNBC Digital Network.
